The manufacturer of video cards accuses NVIDIA of lack of interest in overclocking

POSTER:computer news || THE MANUFACTURER OF VIDEO CARDS ACCUSES NVIDIA OF LACK OF INTEREST IN OVERCLOCKING

We have already written about the abuse of component manufacturers with interest in gaming components. A rare graphics card or motherboard nowadays does not have the suffix "Gaming" in the name, but the totality of its consumer qualities may not suit the final customer, who has fallen for the current name. This problem was once again voiced in an open letter on the pages of the Reddit resource by the famous Swedish enthusiast Elmor , who has long worked at the Taiwan headquarters of Asustek Computer, helping to create motherboards and video cards for enthusiasts and overclockers.

Although he acknowledges that the Asus ROG products are not ideal, especially with regard to software and service support, Elmor blames other motherboards and video cards manufacturers for lack of progress. According to him, to make a really interesting motherboard, it is not enough to hang it with LED ribbons. Many of the comrades of the Swedish overclocker "on the shop" are working for Asus competitors, but they have not given decent products in recent months.

From the American champion K | ngp | n and the Ukrainian engineer TiN , who give the world the best products in the EVGA model range, the Swedish friend is waiting for new products like a special version of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. In general, as the author of the letter admits, NVIDIA recently not only lost interest in the creation of overclocked video cards, but also with all the forces prevents their appearance. Manufacturers of video cards are deprived of many opportunities to change the settings that were available to them earlier.

"The best friends of overclockers" Elmor calls AMD and Intel. Both companies provide full support to motherboards developers . However, such recognition somehow does not fit with the recent statements of Intel , calling not to overclock the processor Core i7-7700K to eliminate the abnormal behavior of the temperature sensor. And the classic topic of the thermal interface of dubious quality under the cover of mass models of Intel processors always comes to mind when it comes to the care of the corporation about its consumers.

I got it from the motherboard developer and the reviewers. According to them, they pay too little attention to the interesting functions of motherboards, reviews are superficial, one-type, and at the same time mostly devoid of criticism. Meanwhile, criticism of reviewers should help manufacturers of motherboards improve their products. Elmor encourages review authors to approach the search for the disadvantages of motherboards more responsibly.
